Important Information for Students Registering for Evening School Regular, consistent attendance in Evening School is essential to student success. The courses are fast-paced and each day of attendance is critical. No more than three (3) absences, excused or unexcused, are permitted in the program. Students who are absent more than 3 days may be withdrawn from the program. Three (3) tardies or 3 early dismissals will be counted as one absence. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this requirement, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER REASONS. All classes end promptly at 8:30 pm. Students must be picked up immediately by an authorized party upon class dismissal. Late pickups occurring after 8:30 pm will be recorded by the ESOE Site Coordinator. Three (3) or more late pickups are considered a violation of the attendance policy and will be handled accordingly. Parent/ Guardian Initial here: Student Initial here: Attendance and tardy requirements are not meant to be punitive. All schools must maintain and enforce a minimum number of student hours per class in order to retain their accreditation. We will be using a system this spring called Remind 101 to keep students and parents aware of announcements such as cancelled classes, time changes, etc. Please provide a cell phone number in order to utilize this system: Cell Number TUITION/ REFUND POLICY Tuition must be paid to the home school before the session begins. Once a course has started, no refunds will be authorized after February 26, 2016. No refunds will be authorized for students withdrawn for excessive absences or disciplinary reasons. Henrico County Public Schools reserves the right to cancel classes for which there is insufficient enrollment and disburse refunds to affected students accordingly. INSTRUCTION Make Up work applies to excused absences due to illness, bereavement, and religious holidays. DISCIPLINE Evening School is a privilege, not a requirement. The program is designed to help students get back on track and earn credits needed for graduation. Inappropriate disruptions and improper behavior will not be tolerated. Students referred to the ESOE Coordinator for violations of discipline may be withdrawn. If a student is suspended from day school, they cannot attend evening school on the days of their suspensions.
